Production Deployment Checklist

Before going live with a production Fonrex instance, verify every item on this checklist:

🔒 Security & Environment

• Changed default PostgreSQL password in .env (POSTGRES_PASSWORD).

• Configured TLS 1.3 / SSL certificates on NGINX / reverse proxy.

⚡ Performance & Caching

• Verified Redis memory policy is set to maxmemory-policy allkeys-lru.
• Configured PostgreSQL shared_buffers and work_mem for TimescaleDB workloads.
• Verified TimescaleDB intraday automatic retention chunk purges are operational.

Health Monitoring & Backups

• Tested /health and /health/providers API endpoints.
• Configured daily pg_dump backups for assets, asset_listings, and fundamentals tables.
• Verified daily Canary checks run automatically at 06:00 UTC.
